For the old & f**ked among us, like me  who can't ride a sports bike for more than an hour or so any more without suffering here's how I did my high bar conversion. Thought about buying a Tuono but my RSVR is mint & better the devil you know.

Firstly they do conversion kits for these but I have heard nothing but bad things about them & know from experience when my mate bought one for his R6 that they do not fit very well & some of the parts supplied are only fit for the bin.

Firstly I got a top yoke for Ohlins forks from ebay & sent it to NK racing who supplied & machined a set of fat bar risers to fit on the angle of the yoke then welded them on & grit blasted all for £80.00

Next I bought a top fairing from ebay & fitted this with the top yoke to see how much had to be cut off to clear the handlebars.

The fairing was cut back almost to the mirror mounts but I still couldn't quite get full lock so my solution was to get an old footrest hanger & cut the fixing lugs off & make them oval to reduce the lock slightly.

Now the top fairing & screen were cut back they were sprayed black & lacqured.

Next job was to replace the brake & clutch lines, just a matter of measuring how much they were short & buying them from Venhill.

The wiring & throttle cables were long enough to re-route without replacement.

I used Tuono reservoir brackets

The new decals were from Image Works & a perfect match but not easy to fit which is why I put them on top of the lacquer, just in case

The final thing after riding around for a while was to replace the mirrors for RS125 ones which actually stick out about 2" further than the original ones.

This is how much it cost & no original parts were harmed in making this conversion

I also dropped the forks through the yokes by one ring & increased the settings on the rear shock to compensate for the shift in weight by sitting up. the different riding position took a bit of getting used to but I love it now & it's so comfy I can ride all day
